I'm getting an unexpected diagnostic message when using the
Boost preprocessor library.  The compiler environment is the
HP-UX C++ compiler (aCC, version "HP ANSI C++ B3910B A.03.34").
The generated output -- see the last line of "Compiler output",
below -- *is* correct.  I'm using Boost_1_28_0.
Can someone please help me answer whether
   . my use of the preprocessor library is incorrect
   . there a bug in aCC
   . there is a problem in the preprocessor library?
Thank you.
